Saviour For a Day
If I talk too soft, they think I'm preaching If I talk too slow, they think I care If I walk too fast, then I've got purpose here Can't you see, see through the prayer? It's got you now, so I will play It's got you now, so I will play, play Saviour for a day If you go too far, I'm not reaching Don't care who you are, try and see I am here and there is sky, and there is air Won't you see, see through the prayer It's got you now, so I will play It's got you now, so I will play, play Saviour for a day Let me be your saviour... Don't you know, I so love you Don't you know, I so care Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know, I so need you Don't you know, I so care So let me be your saviour today Come on, come on, come on girl You think I'm preaching You think I talk too slow Well I'm not reaching, no no no no no See through it baby, see through it for me Saviour, saviour, saviour, saviour Who Put The Fear In Here? i watched a man tell his boy about the pains of reality then i watched that child grow into a soldier defending contradictions and paving the way... who put the fear in here? i watched a miracle in the making then had a scientist tell me that i couldn't live without breaking, my habits of fearlessness and crying for the world... who put the fear in here? was it you, who finally shed the tear? someone told me that two lovers bound could put another sun in the sky if you believed it, there'd be twice the light and no one would be scared to fly if i believed it, there'd be twice the light and no one would be scared to fly i thought i knew exactly what scared me and i would never have to run again. so i went to sleep and began dreaming of perfect lives in paradise woke up and started screaming... who put the fear in here? who put the fear in here? oh no... was it you who finally shed the tear? then who put the fear in here? Good Pain He said, he said, he said "There was nothing to fear boy" And he said, he said, he said "Worthless are your tears boy" "Just realize your senses And realize your earth Just realize your essence first" I'll never be the same again I want to walk in the sun I am alive and well again No more bittersweet No more good pain No more So many of us stand in the middle Looking back to the worst Looking forward to the fall Making weapons of peace for the defense Of the bloodstains on our Peaceful sidewalks You say the buildings got too tall And they're going to fry your brother Well I say you better walk away, walk away, walk away And find your mother No more bittersweet No more good pain If I can't sing this song And tell you all about it Then I'll just pack it all up right now and Walk away Don't even doubt it So when our sherry glass is full And the day is way too young You'd better sip today, sip today, sip today Before it's done No more bittersweet No more good pain Morning Humour Slippery Jack, no more turning back All around, morning humor I am a waiter and I am a server I'll run to your needs with strength and fervor In times when you are wasted I will walk in Through the door, pick you from the floor Then watch you grow into a man With a big burly beard And a mustache to match I'll watch you love the world And all that it has... With that morning humor Morning humor The kind that wakes you up The kind that's in my blood Morning humor, morning humor, yeah... I am on top again, soon to be low again Oh will this ever end? I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound like a whale Trapped in the ice, but ain't it nice to say exactly What I please With a big toney voice or a Soft mellow voice or the Loud boisterous voice of an opera, opera lady With that morning humor Morning humor The kind that wakes you up The kind that's in my blood Morning humor, morning humor, yeah But the joke that kills Is just a joke to you You need some... Slippery Jack, no more turning back All around, morning humor The kind that wakes you up The kind that's in my blood Oh, the kind that wakes you up Kind, kind, kind... Morning humor... Paper Flowers You seem like a girl who likes to tell her bed is made You seem like a girl who likes to wear her pearls Well I'm not the type who likes to dwell, Save my money, or kiss and tell, ooo yeah Oh why does she water them Paper Flowers This girl walks up so graciously Slips something in my pocket so secretly I said "Honey, what's this you gave to me?" "Oh nothing, water, wait and see." I said "Paper flowers, they can't grow!" "Give 'em water and let me know, Give 'em water and let me know Give 'em water and let me know." Oh why does she water them, paper flowers? Paper flowers Oh why does she water them, paper flowers? Paper flowers She's dressed in black as you can see She tries so d*** hard to be the enemy She's got big black boots, get outta the way She wants to kick tomorrow, punch yesterday Kick tomorrow, punch yesterday Oh why does she water them, paper flowers? Paper flowers Turn a light on, turn a different light on Turn a light on, turn a different light on now! Turn a light on, turn a different light on Turn a light on, turn a different light on now! Yeah Oh why does she water them, paper flowers Paper flowers Ooo paper flowers Those paper flowers P-p-paper flowers The Hands Of a Teacher Optimism Optimism perished from the face of my Earth Then you came along, came along and swept me away She kissed me, as we stood on the edge The night made the day as we made for the bridge It started raining hard, and I saw we may live to regret No I never really understood No I never really understood why 'Cause I've never been given No, I've never been given two tries No I never really understood Understood why Pessimism Pessimism perished from the face of my Earth Then you came along, came along and swept me away Oh, Did you miss me? Did you miss me as we walked through the pain Attached with chains so you could see me again I started asking myself, did I teach you right? No I never really understood No I never really understood why 'Cause I've never been given 'Cause I've never been given two tries No I never really understood Understood why Understood why You came to me, you broke the bonds You set me free And then the love that you promised me Came a tumblin', tumblin', tumblin' down Into my hands No I never really understood No I never really understood why 'Cause I've never been given 'Cause I've never been given two tries No I never really understood Understood why So teacher, teach me The hands of a teacher Teach me! Sister See me walking aimlessly about Don't know whether to whisper or to shout I could be wrong, I could be very, very right Here I stand, innocence in my room She's naked in my bed, wild thoughts inside my head Oh no! She's my... Sister, with her, Don't let your heart break too soon Maybe, baby, come on sister Lady you're my breath! I could have been to you tonight What I've wanted to be all my life The day is gone now I can see I can't sustain your love I can't complain your love I can't explain your love Oh no! She's my... Sister, with her, Don't let your heart break too soon Maybe, baby, come on sister Lady you're my breath! Sister yeah... Sister She's my sister... Raising A Man Let's gather round the supper table And tell the boy he's just as able To die with his boots untied Evening's come, let's settle down And sing one more song without a frown Sing for, sing for our voices And more, sing for out choises Just don't lie, lie, lie, lie, lie Love must stand when raising a man...raising a man... To teach him direction and the best that he can And lesson one, you will run Sink into your chair with fright A baby boy is born today Where comes he from, where will he play? Will he run, or will he stand? Now I lay him down to sleep A state of mind, his soul will keep I give him words, words to say That he might love, love everyday Just don't lie, lie, lie, lie, lie Love must stand when raising a man...raising a man... To teach him direction and the best that he can And lesson one, you will run Sink into your chair with fright But the night, the night, night, night, the night's alright Tonight Libra Libra, take my eyes from me Oh libra, make me blind so that I can see Everyone's dreamin' of a truth to be Everyone's changin' channels on a big TV Oh libra, like a balance Time tried to hold her, tried to tie her down But I beat the clock Now the balance makes my world go round Oh libra, like a balance Libra, my love... Libra, my love... Ball And Chain Kill the lights You and I On the boat Hypnotized I look at you You say to me "I'm the lock, now You're the key." Oh, it's all the same Just play the game Carry the weight Of this ball and chain Save the lies You and I On the road to rationalize You and I should never guess You and I should never regret Oh, it's all the same Just play the game Carry the weight Of this ball and chain Of this ball and chain Of this ball and chain |
